FEELING SAFE:

One of the long-term effects of being
in a dysfunctional environment is that

we don’t feel safe.

This can cause us to control, obsess, or
focus on the other person, while

neglecting ourselves or shutting down
our feelings.

We can learn to make ourselves feel
safe and comfortable, as part of a

nurturing, loving, attitude toward
ourselves.

Sometimes, we get a feeling of safety
and comfort when we attend Twelve
Step meetings or support groups.
Being with a friend or doing
something nice for ourselves helps us
feel protected and loved. Reaching
out to another person can help us feel
safe. Often, prayer and meditation
can help us affirm that our Higher
Power cares for us.

We are safe now. We can relax.
Perhaps others haven’t been there for
us in a consistent, trustworthy way,
but we are learning to be there for
ourselves.
